Hello everyone I'm new to this whole forum thing. I never been on one, and I just got really serious about growing my hair. I would love to join this challenge. My hair is shoulder length and my goal is to reach apl by june-August.

Hmm, you know what? I think I'll join this too. I want to reach APL by June and BSL by the end of the year. I just had an unecessary major trim so I'm gonna use EVERY tactic in the book to increase my growth rate! Hope I can keep up with all the challenges I'm in.

Are you ready to swang your new length around at the end of 2013? Well, you've came to the right place!

Whether EL, NL, SL or even an inch to APL you all are welcome to join. Let's see how much length we can retain this year!

This my first post, and first challenge....I would love to be in this challenge..been trying to reach APL forever!

1. Will post pic as soon as I figure it out2. Natural3. When in braids, cleanse with clarifying conditioner(scalp only) 2x week, moisturize braids every other day, GHE 2-3 times during week. I'm really all over the place when my hair is out which is probably why I haven't reached APL.4. The "growth aid I use is JBCO on edges and mixed in my various homemade braid sprays 5, I've decided to stay in braids for the better part of the year 'cause when my hair is out I get frustrated and irritated with it really fast....I really don't like doing my hair relaxed or natural 6. I plan to pay more attention to my braids and when I have my hair out I plan to wear my two strand twists for two weeks and then wear a twist out for about ten days...which means no water on my head for at least 3 weeks....Don't judge me

-Wear weaves for one month with 1 week breaks in between installs. During that week I will bun as a PS.-Use garlic shampoo to prevent shedding. -use diva curl as my deep conditioner. -use. V05 for cowash-use my monistat mix again-continue to take my hairfinity-start juicing

-Post current length picture (Due by Jan. 31): I'll wait until starting time to post one-Natural/Relaxed/Texlaxed: Natural-Regimen: Moisturize daily, Cowash/Shampoo (& DC) alternating weeks, Clarify/Protein Treatment monthly-Growth aids: None-Protective style: Twists, Buns, Updos-What will you do different this year than last to achieve the goal?: Stick to my regimen, learning about my natural hair as it is a new experience for me
